Blood Tests for Triathletes - What, When & How Often Should You Get Checked for Optimal Performance

What blood tests or biomarkers do you need to test as an active endurance athlete?   You may have seen lots of companies offering blood tests for triathletes lately and it can be hard to know if it’s worth doing or a complete waste of time.   As always, I think it’s important you’re equipped with some knowledge and understanding before doing something like this. So you can make informed decisions and, most importantly, understand the results and what to do about it.   In this episode I’ll explain: Why do routine blood tests as a triathlete? What things should you test for and why? When should you do blood tests and how frequently? How to interpret your results and how to rectify any abnormalities    Please note: this is not personal medical advice – see a sports physician if you’re not sure about you and your specific circumstances.   Download your free Blood Test Guide: www.dietitianapproved.com/blood-tests-for-triathletes   LINKS   Join the waitlist for our next Triathlon Nutrition Academy opening in July! www.dietitianapproved.com/academy   Check how well you’re doing when it comes to your nutrition with our 50 step checklist to Triathlon Nutrition Mastery: dietitianapproved.com/checklist   Website: www.dietitianapproved.com Instagram: @Dietitian.Approved  @triathlonnutritionacademy Facebook: www.facebook.com/DietitianApproved   The Triathlon Nutrition Academy is a podcast by Dietitian Approved.
